## Description
Chopper Chase belongs to Milton Bradley's nostalgic Flipsiders line, those tiny games that arrive in cassette‑sized boxes and unfold into miniature boards. It’s a pure two‑player showdown: one player controls a bank robber trying to cross the board with his car, while the other pilots a police helicopter to capture him. Movement is determined by spinners – rotating discs that tell how many spaces each piece moves, using the classic Roll/Spin and Move mechanic. Each side has a unique power: the robber can pick routes that make capture harder, while the cop relies on the helicopter’s agility to intercept. The robber wins by reaching the "Border" space untouched; the police win by landing the helicopter directly on the robber’s car, effecting a capture. A typical game lasts about 20 minutes, making it ideal for quick, tense duels. With a BGG weight of 1/5, the rules are straightforward enough for kids to grasp, yet the route‑choosing and timing of the spinner add enough tactical depth for adults who enjoy light strategy. Its compact design makes it a great travel companion, and the chase‑and‑escape theme gives it a mini‑action‑movie vibe. In short, Chopper Chase packs a lot of fun into a tiny package, perfect for short sessions with friends or family.
